Hi newbie! I was like you - alergic to all the protein drinks --- my nuterinionist made this one up for me - it is 27 grams 1 cup 1% milk 1/2 egg whites subsitute - found in dairy -- do not use raw!! 1 teaspoon of vanilla 3 tablespoons of powder milk 1 packet of splendia mix well - don't drink to cold or with too many bubbles so you don't get gas after surgery. enjoy --- don't give up - I was banded on sept 4th - have lost over 30lbs good luck most protein drinks have barley in them - which I am alergic too

have you tired lactaide ---- it works very well for my husband - you just take one before you take any dairy Robin I am alergic to barely which is in most Protein shakes. If you like choclate - my friend use EAS chocolate - she got it at safeway --- she had lost 145 lbs with the band

the one I used was made by my nurtestionist --- 1 cup 1% milk - 1/2 egg whites subsitutes (in dairy section not raw) - 1 teaspoon of vanilla - 3 tablespoons of powdered milk - 1 packet of slendia. --- this is 27 grams of Protein --- taste like egg nog ---- don't drink it too cold or with too many bubbles - so you don't get gas --- enjoy!!

Hello everyone! today marks 2 weeks from surgery. Finally getting my sea legs not quite so shaky. Finally got to eat some scramble eggs - felt good to have something besides liquids! I had a bloodie nose for about 4 days after surgery and now it has turned into a sinus infection which is no fun - but I am going to go back to work on Monday - at least that is the plan. If any of you are still on liquids - split pea soup is a good choice - use milk instead of water for added protein - blend it up - it is high in protein and sure taste good and goes down easy. It also seems to hold me longer than other soups. I've also added some grated cheese for additional protein - which melts when you heat it up. Hope everyone is doing well. Robin:smile:

hello! My name is Robin - I live in Kenmore - looking for a lapband buddy too. I was banded on the 4th of Sept. Still on the liquid part - trying to figure out what I can have. Today I started to get some hunger pains. I also have a cold or the flu which doesn't help. Anyone out there in the North End? Thanks, Robin:smile:

Congrats! Tina! I had my surgery a week ago today. The gas is no fun - try walking around for a least 10 minutes and see if that doesn't help getting some of the gas moving out! Also drinking something warm helps! Talk to you soon Robinmaire
